unless proven otherwise Questions are looming after an amended federal lawsuit alleging
prisoner abuse at the Mifflin County Correctional Facility was reported last week in The Sentinel. We hope that what results from the accusations is a thorough investigation, and that neither the corrections facility is discredited without merit nor is the complaint until such an investigation is conducted. The lawsuit initially was filed in 2006 and at the time named only one prisoner as plaintiff, Dustin Zimmerman, who accused three corrections officers of abuse. Two additional plaintiffs, Gary Searer and Justin Herb, have joined the suit, which seeks certification as a class action and the ability to include other prisoners who may have been subjected to the alleged abuse.

Again, these are hefty complaints being lodged against the corrections facility, its staff and the county. It is important to remember that anyone can make a claim about anything at any time.

{yeah just like the cops can accuse anyone of anything, but that never stops the reporters at the sentinel from publishing and posting young kids mug shots on the front of their paper and ruining their lives whether they are guilty or not}
